Verdict
A winner between the flags, What About Time was second over 3m1f at Huntingdon on Boxing Day but has been absent since. He looks too close in the weights to BALLYCAMUS (NAP), who relished the step up to 3m at Newbury and can defy a 6lb rise in the ratings. Hardy Fella has been knocking on the door and will be hard to keep out of the frame again but cheekpieces would need to improve Rockinastorm upped in distance. Egbert won over 2m5f here in January but his yard is ending the season with a whimper.
